hlasová

Hlasový is an adjective used in Czech and Slovak to denote relation to the voice, speech, or voicing. It is derived from the noun hlas (voice, sound, speech) with the adjectival suffix -ový, and it forms many compound terms describing vocal or voice-related phenomena.

In everyday and technical usage, hlasový appears in a range of contexts. In information technology and telecommunications, it is common in phrases such as hlasový asistent (voice assistant), hlasový vstup or hlasový input (voice input), hlasový výstup (voice output), and hlasové ovládání (voice control). In the field of speech technology, terms like hlasové rozpoznávání řeči or rozpoznávanie reči (voice or speech recognition) describe systems that interpret spoken language. In linguistics and phonetics, hlas relates to voicing or vocalization, and hlasový can be used to describe features connected with voice or vocalization, depending on linguistic tradition.

In Slovak, as in Czech, the word is inflected to agree with the gender and number of the noun it modifies (for example, hlasová, hlasové). The common thread across both languages is a focus on voice or vocal aspects, whether in technology, linguistics, media, or therapy contexts, making hlasový a versatile term for describing anything concerned with voice.
